A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE

The Ningbo Museum

The museum is designed by architect Wang Shu, who in 2012 won the Pritzker Architecture Prize. The concept of museum design is a combination of mountain, water and ocean, as the East China Sea has played an important role in the history of Ningbo. Features of Jiangnan residences are integrated into the museum design by decorations made from old tiles and bamboo. Ningbo Museum won the Lu Ban Prize in 2009, the top architecture prize in China.
